Turley: A "Reverse Ginsburg" Scenario Could Flip SCOTUS Without Packing

This is what worries me the most.

   Imagine a court without Thomas and Alito...and with another Sotomayor and...saints preserve us...KBJ...

   The Dems have demonstrated that they're willing to put incompetent ideologues on the Court.

   As dim as the prospects currently seem, the red team absolutely, positively must win in '28. If not--among the many other catastrophic consequences--the blue team will probably be able to make the swap described above--and use the '30 census to lock in what might well be a permanent--and nearly insuperable--electoral advantage. And that's before even considering any of their more psychotic hopes: nuking the filibuster, expanding the Court with additional leftists, statehood for DC and Puerto Rico.

   To repeat myself repeating myself: Trump's always been a gamble. The "flight 93 election" business wasn't (much) melodramatic exaggeration. The Dems have lost their minds, and it was (and is) crucial to keep them out of power as much as possible until the madness passes...though it's seeming less likely that that will actually happen...

   But now we've had six years of Trump in office...and the last two of those have been Trump Unbound. He's done some great things and some catastrophically stupid things. But through it all, he's flapped his jaw and just generally pumped up Trump fatigue to 11. That's one of the prices we knew we'd have to pay.

   Sadly, here we are, at the lame duck portion of our show, and the Dems show few signs of recovering from the plague of madness that swept through their ranks. I see little reason to think that a blue-team Presidency in '29-'33 will be any less catastrophic than the Biden trainwreck was. In fact, God help us, it could even be worse.
